Alternate client backup split mirror examples

The alternate client has access to the mirror disks that contains a snapshot of the primary client's data. Before the backup, the mirror is split from the primary disk, which creates the snapshot on the mirror disk. The alternate client has access to the mirror disk, from which it creates and streams a snapshot-based backup image to the media server. After the backup, the mirror can be optionally resynchronized with the primary disk.

Note:

The mirror disk need not be visible to the primary client, only to the alternate client.
